Our results show substantial northward shifts in climatic favorability in the last 60 years for P. cinereus, which are likely to be exacerbated by ongoing climate change Leer más.

Results showed that seminatural habitats differed from actual natural habitats in some microhabitat characteristics and in diversity of available prey. The diet of geckos also differed between habitats, being less diverse in altered habitats. However, the health state (body condition) of geckos was similar between habitats. These geckos seem able to modify their diet selection patterns to cope with anthropic disturbances of the habitat, which would allow them to inhabit and prosper in human-altered ecosystems. Leer más.
The helminth fauna present in the gut contents of Iberian adders, Vipera seoanei (Squamata: Viperidae), were characterised and analysed in respect to biological and eco-geographic factors that may affect the occurrence and diversity of helminths in this species. Leer más.
These findings further suggest that population historical demographic events influence hologenomic variation and provide new insights into how immunogenetic host variability and microbial diversity may jointly influence host fitness with consequences for disease susceptibility and population persistence.
